Belgrade, Dec. 31—The last of the house of Obrenovitch, the murdered Alexander, lies in little chapel in the Belgrade cemetery ,forgotten by conqueror and conquered alike. Be- side him rests Queen Draga, the woman for whose saying he broke off relations with his father and whose influence upon him undoubtedly led to the sordid tragedy that extingulsh- ed this royal line. The chapel stands in the center of a neglected graveyard. It is a primi- tive building, a larger sample of the typical Serbian peasant’s cottage, without ornamentation of any kind. Tt is of brick, rudely plastered on the outside. Only a cross carved into a tablet giving the date of erection shows that it is not an ordinary house or even a substantial barn. Bullets have bored neat holes through two of the plain-glass windows, and have made blisters in a half dozen places on the plain sheet-iron doors. The street fighting was a half mile away, but the modern infantry rifle has a long range, and the chapel stands on ground elevated somewhat above the scene of the street battles. i Hungarian Troops Near Chapel. A few Hungarian soliders are quar- ters in a building a hundred yards away from the chapel None of them had any idea where the key to the chapel was to be found. The Asso- ciated Press representative flnally crawled through a small hole in the wall, which appeared to have been made by a shell which failed to ex plode. Scattered bricks and mortar lay on the floor inside. The scene was depressinga In the middle of the floor lay a box con- taining books, dust covered and in disarray. The high altar had been shoved back into a small anteroom. The sacred vestments, some of them torn and muddied, were strewn about the floor and on the altar. A picture of a saint, its protecting glass splin- tered. lay face down. A bullet had found its way into one of the crude mural paintings. Mortar dust lay deep over everything. No Royal Tomb. The correspondent had been in- formed that the murdered king and queen were buried in this chapel, but there was nothing in sight even re- motely resembling a royal tomb.

This der house,” as it was termed, is to have been torn down at the order of King Peter, who did not care to have a perpetual reminder of the tragedy before his eyes. Thrown Into Coffins. The mutilated bodies of the mur- dered king and queen it was reported at the time, were thrown into rude wooden coffins, carried to the chapel on the handcart of a sewer-cleaner and buried unceremoniously a few hours after the murder. Thus ended the rule and the line of the Obrenovichs, thirty-five years to a day after the greatest of the line, Prince Michael, had been murdered in the Topcider park, west of the city. Prince Alexander of the house of Kar- ageorgevitch, rather of the present King Peter, was thrice tried in Hun- gary for participation in that murder, but after a conviction in one court, was acquitted by two others. The con- spiracy of 1868 was planned to re- store the Karageorgevitch dynasty, and the murder of June 10, 1903, whether or not they had that as their principal aim, resulted in its restora- tion; the Skupshtina called Peter to the throne some weeks after the trag- edy. King Peter, who was at the time in Geneva, made a formal statement denying any complicity in the plot or any guilty foreknowledge of it. No- body was punished for the murder. Maple Hill Mrs. E. E.

In Cyrillian letters on the slab were the names of two of the older members of the Obrenovitch family. Right and left stood a crude Roman cross of wood. On the cross-bar of the cross at the right was rudely lettered “Alexander Obrenovitch.” The cor- responding bar on the cross at the left bore the name “Draga Obreno- vitch. There was not another letter on elther cross, no date of birth nor death, no word to indicate that the persons buried here had once been king and queen of the country. In the more than thirteen years that have elapsed since the murder, the crosses have not even been set upright. They are simply leaned against the white-washed wall. A nickeled candlestick stands near the squalid tomb; at the ofher side is a tall, cylindrical sheet-iron strove, sole means of heating the chapel No guard rail separates the tomb from the place occupied by the worship- pers. Stirred all World The mean tomb in the little chapel recalls the regicide that stirred all the world—with the exception, ac- cording to the contemporary reports, of Serbla itself—in June, 1903. Trouble had been accumulating for years at the Serbian court. Alexander has alienated his father Milan and offended various European courts by marrying Draga Maschin, widow of an engineer and a former "lady in waiting of Queen Natalie. Nepotism and general favoritism still further embittered the old court party at Bel- grade. Particularly was there wide disaffection among the army officers. What gave greater impetus to the growing conspiracy against King Alexander was his act in suspending the constitution on April 7, 1903, de- claring void the mandates of th ators and councillors of state, d ing the Skupshtina and setting aside various laws, including the press law and the election law. Shot and Stabbed Late in the night of June 10, 1903, a band of conspirators, chiefly officials and army officers, and including Col. Maschin, brother of Draga’s dead husband, overpowered or shot down the weak palace guard and forced their way to the door of the royal apartment. This door was blown down with dynamite, and the king and queen were shot and stabbed to death and their bodies thrown out of the window into the small garden sur- rounding the palace. Contemporary reports describe the murder as taking place in the old | Konak.
